Planet Zoo 2 habitat calculator

Work out exactly what a Planet Zoo 2 animal needs before you build: barrier grade, minimum fence height, climb-proofing, biome, enclosure type and body size — then add a second species and see what a shared enclosure would have to satisfy. Every number is read out of Frontier's own Zoopedia data, not guessed.

1. What does one species need?

Pick a species

Returns the official barrier requirement (grade, minimum height, climb-proofing), the biome and enclosure type the species accepts, its listing size and class, plus any territorial or aggression flags from its own Zoopedia text.

Pick an animal to see its official habitat requirements.

2. Planning a shared enclosure?

Select every species you want in the same habitat

The calculator intersects their biomes and enclosure types and takes the strictest requirement in the list, which is what you actually have to build. If the shared-biome row comes back empty, that combination cannot share a habitat no matter how calm the animals are.

Nothing selected yet — tick two or more species above.

How to read the output

FieldWhere it comes fromHow to use it
Barrier requirementThe species' own Zoopedia entry: barrier grade, minimum height in metres and a climb-proof flag.Build the fence to that grade or higher. In a shared habitat, use the highest grade in the list.
BiomeThe biomes the species accepts in the official data.A shared habitat needs at least one biome in common; the calculator shows only the intersection.
EnclosureHabitat, Aquarium, Aviary or Exhibit.Aquarium species only pair with aquarium species, aviary with aviary. Exhibits are glass boxes, not walk-in habitats.
WaterThe aquarium / water flag in the barrier data.If any selected species needs water, plan a pool or tank even in a land habitat.
SizeListed adult body length, male and female.Sets the footprint you need to leave clear, and it is what makes a species feel crowded in a small plot.

FAQ

How do I know which barrier grade a Planet Zoo 2 animal needs?
It is in the game's own Zoopedia: every species lists a barrier grade, a minimum fence height in metres and whether the barrier has to be climb-proof. This calculator surfaces all three in one place, and the same numbers are on every species page and in the downloadable dataset.
Can two animals with the same biome share a habitat?
Only if they also share an enclosure type and neither is described as solitary. Run the pair through the compatibility checker — it reads the verdict out of the official Social & Reproduction text and quotes the sentence it used.
What is the most expensive barrier to build?
Grade 4 plus climb-proof is the strictest combination in the launch roster. If a shared habitat contains one such species, the whole enclosure has to be built to that standard, which makes it worth checking the list before you commit.
Does this calculator use the real Planet Zoo 2 numbers?
Yes. Species names, biomes, enclosure types, barrier grades, barrier heights, sizes, weights and taxonomy all come from the official Zoopedia payload behind the game's own animal pages. The calculator does not invent an area figure, because the Zoopedia does not publish one.
